madeline_metcalf shared a tip "The first book that actually freaked me out reading it! Theres never a dull moment and you're hooked from chapter one. The movies never do it justice though sadly, so if you didn't like the movies you could still very likely enjoy the book."

sean_green_7753 shared a tip "4.5/5 currently reading this one.. still! It has been greatly entertaining, but if you're not super into the lore of IT and/or the work of Stephen King, the length of this book is killer!"

James_Read shared a tip "The book for sure the kids reminded me of how I used to talk and interact with each other and it come off way scarier. Honestly I could go on and on."

joeyquest shared a tip "IT was my first SK novel. I read it when I was a sophomore in HS. IT scared the s#!+ outta me. It also sparked my love for reading, for holding physical books, and to read other authors and genres. My love for HORROR was inspired by IT."

AskMyOpinion_Joy shared a tip "One of the scariest books I’ve ever read… first off being scared of clowns doesn’t help lol but Stephen king is the man!! I couldn’t pass reading this up. #stephenking"

labiba_hossain shared a tip "Yeah I really loved the movie especially the recent one It chapter 2 was absolutely amazing! Definitely did justice to the book in my opinion"

sabrina_cochran shared a tip "Maybe I find IT the scariest book I've ever read, because it was my 1st King book(hooked me on King for life)...maybe because I was 15...no other I can think of off the top of my head can compare, & horror is my favorite genre. The movies are ok, but the book(is ALWAYS)better."

Incenta shared a tip "Tw: cp ( yes child p) mentions of r*pe and abuse. The book was good however it would have been better without the unnecessary descriptions of kids junk and young girls growing breast. Also near the very end there is a side chapter of Beverly deciding to undress ( in the dark sewers after defeating it) and tell the boys to have sec with her one at a time. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN TALKING ABOUT PUBERTY AND JUST PLAIN UNNECESSARY DISCRETIONS OF CHILD GENITALIA. #triggerwarning"

richard_wittkohl shared a tip "Swird of truth seriesby terry goodkinď. Fantasy/ horror. Its really good and the third book drops a metaphorick a bomb that takes six books to stop"

cie_boucher shared a tip "I had my Stephen King phase when I was younger. His stuff scares me too much now! 😱 But I loved Duma Key by him, too. That was a good one."

sheri-lynn_parsons shared a tip "I love the book It and plan reading again several times. I can't say I have a favorite part, but there are parts that stuck out as odd such as Bill's and Bev's reaction to each other as adults. It was a quick moment and as quick as that forgotten just like that"

Cameron_12801 shared a tip "Great novel for those that have plenty of time on their hands. If one can get through this monster or around 1200 pages (depending on edition) then that one person will most likely enjoy the read. Pure Stephen King with great character development and storytelling. Very unique and compelling. Not for the faint of heart as it does have very dark and gruesome moments."

kevin_rapps shared a tip "I actually have only seen the original with Tim Curry. I haven’t gotten around to watching the others, as most of the people with whom I watch movies are scarfed of clowns!!! But, they are on my list."

camden_rafdal shared a tip "Yes this book is the longest book I’ve ever seen and yes it did take me 8 months to read it because I was at school and had homework but it is to date the best book I’ve ever read! So different than the movie. This book focuses on the children more than penny wise. At first it seems odd if you’ve seen the movies but it’s almost more intriguing that way. Each one was innocent in their own way and the movies tried to show that but they didn’t include some key points from the book. There are some slow bits. And it switches back and forth from the past to the present and is set in the 50s and 80s but it was so good! And he includes real crimes that happened in Maine. If you’ve read the shining pay attention. There’s rumors or theories that one or all of the kids had it. They even mention a character from the shining in passing and the town castle rock. While this book can be super super graphic, it’s Stephen king so it’s sort of expected. You will not regret this book. It took 4 years to write! And it took less than a year to read and I wanted more! It explains things the movie doesn’t about penny wise. And about all of the children and their spouses when they’re adults. Highly recommend this book!"

kristie_endresen shared a tip "No, the book was quite enjoyable but it rather dragged on in certain parts. My absolute favorites of Stephen King so far has been The Stand and Sleeping Beauties."

cloud_sky shared a tip "It’s an amazing book. Read it in 3 weeks. All amazing. It’s a bit boring at the beginning but when you get through that it becomes ✨Magical✨. It will actually change your life. If you are just starting to read horror or Stephen King than this is an amazing book to start with. I also maybe had to skip a couple of pages because of certain triggers such as killing of animals (and small child)."

alexandria_doty shared a tip "I'm not sure if I really have a favorite. I love horror novels, and anyone who can churn out something so scary it makes me look over my shoulder for a few days is great in my mind. Stephen King and Nick Cutter are good."

katie_schlosser shared a tip "Definitely one of his lengthier tomes, but I surprisingly enjoyed this book and didn’t think I would (not a clown fan 🤣). It has slow moments because he is a very descriptive author, but then other parts were the opposite."

kore._xoxo shared a tip "VERY long. When I got this book it was so big and heavy in my pusre and i almost gave up when reading. But #stephenking does a great job of putting detail into his writing. truly an amazing story!"

lynnj shared a tip "Great read. I had read it after seeing the first remake of the movie. Definitely puts things into better context for the movie and makes it so you understand more and ties everything into place. The book is a classic scary/disturbing read!"

sam_nicholls shared a tip "Absolutely! It's a long one, and Stephen King wrote a few questionable scenes in it, but overall its still one of my all time favourites."

agentq5ft2 shared a tip "Kind of hard to get through when you have adhd. I lost motivation around page 750, but I did end up making it through. It was honestly worth it and I’ll probably attempt it again at some point. Setting page goals is key with this one."

blake_lamar shared a tip "The new adaptation is really good. Chapter 1 really catches the spirit of the sections of the book when they are kids. The ending is a lot different."

melissa_freeman_4595 shared a tip "It took me about 2 months to read it, but I'm in nursing school, work, and have 2 toddlers. So it wouldn't take others as long as it did me. It was worth the read though."

taylor_slaymaker shared a tip "@ley_ley I think the movie left out a lot of important parts of the book...the movie was pretty good, but it seemed kinda rushed in my opinion"

rene_deleon shared a tip "When I first read this I didnt actually finish it. Stephen King goes into a lot of depth when it comes to details. I still like it and plan on re reading it and hopefully finishing it lol"

tunkerlynn shared a tip "This book kept me on my toes and was a great story to listen to as an audiobook! Definitely planning on rereading it someday, I just wish the story was shorter! It is probably my favorite horror book of all time.#horror"

madison_slusher_2505 shared a tip "Completely worth the read! It’s very focused on character building which I really enjoyed and takes place both when the characters are young and when they are grown up. The writing is very well done as well."

tracy_gaudet shared a tip "Loved every second of it! So creepy and brings out everyone’s childhood fears. If you have watched the movie I highly suggest giving the book a read it was so much better than the movie"

brooke_price_3416 shared a tip "I liked it a lot. However, i do feel like it was unnecessarily long. I'm not downing a long book but i just felt that it didn’t NEED to be that long. But I did enjoy it."

kristen_dellicolli shared a tip "I can’t pick a favorite part but I’ve always loved how King unravels his characters a little at a time until you get the big picture"
